I'm not sure if any one can help me, but I have a pocket knife that I have had for almost 20 years. I would love to purchase another one just like it, but don't know were to find one.
It's a "Browning" pocket knife, 3 1/4" Model 2518, 3 Blade, 440C Stainless Steel, with Brazilian Rosewood Handles.
If any can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Thanks
 
I am not sure of the address but I have seen Browning's web site before. Try a search and am sure you will come across it.

Selwob, I believe I have the same knife. One blade is upswept, one is a guthook and the other a saw, right? With rosewood handles? Anyway Knife Center of the Internet carries them and in addition to the wood, it is available with stag handles. There is also a lightwieght version that may not be exactly the same but is very similar. Hope this helps.

Back in the 70's Browning really did use 440C for their knives. I have a "master hunter" from 1975 and it was actually 440C. Only in the 80's did the 440C-type apellation show up . Like Buck and Gerber, it appears that some large manufacturers switched to cheaper and more poorly performing steels. M2 was the steel used in "high speed tool steel " Gerbers made 25 years ago. Now it is 420. An unfortunate trend. However, it is good to see some of these manufacturers are "rediscovering" the advantage of using better quality steel in their blades.
